Your personal data on Complete-Reviews

Personal data is any information that relates to an identifiable individual. Our Privacy Policy explains what personal data we collect from you and how we collect, use, disclose, transfer, and store it.

Access your personal data

Under the GDPR, you have the right to ask us for copies of your personal data. This is called the right of access by the data subject or a data subject access request.

If you've got a Complete-Reviews user account, we provide an easy-to-use feature that lets you access core personal data we hold against your account.

To access your personal data:

  1. Log in to Complete-reviews.com.
  2. Under your user icon in the top right-hand corner, select My Settings from the drop-down menu.
  3. Scroll down to the See your Complete-Reviews data section, and click the link. This provides an overview of core personal data we have about you.

This data includes:

  • Your contact, user account and preferences information.
  • Information about your reviews and ratings on Complete-Reviews.
  • Your device and location information.
  • Communication information — emails to our Content Integrity Team, reviews that you've flagged, and locations that you've flagged.
  • Review invitations information.

We also collect some additional personal data that can't be accessed or downloaded via your Complete-Reviews user account, such as analytics information including your Complete-Reviews search history, time you spend on our site, features or functions you've accessed, links you've clicked, etc. If you want to get a copy of all personal data we process about you, please contact our Privacy Team at privacy@complete-reviews.com.

Download your personal data

If you'd like to download your core personal data and any reviews you've created on Complete-Reviews, you can do this easily from your Complete-Reviews user account. In GDPR terms, this is called the right to portability.

  2. Under your user icon in the top right-hand corner, select My Settings from the drop-down menu.
  3. Scroll down to the Download your profile section and click the Download information button.

Delete your personal data

You can request to have your personal data, including your profile and reviews, permanently deleted from Complete-Reviews. In the GDPR, this is called the right to erasure or right to be forgotten.

Please note that this is not absolute and we will not delete personal data which we are required by law or have compelling legitimate interests to keep. For more information, please see the section 'How long do we store your personal data?' in our Privacy Policy.

Don't have a Complete-Reviews user account?

No worries. If you don't have a user account and you want to exercise your rights in relation to the personal data we have about you, you can email our Privacy Team at privacy@complete-reviews.com and request to access, correct or delete your personal data.

Review invitations data

If a business invites you to write a review through Complete-Reviews, it is that business - and not Complete-Reviews - that is responsible for the sending of that invitation, for ensuring that the invitation complies fully with any applicable laws, and for determining the purpose and means of any personal data that is collected or processed about you in order to make that happen.

In GDPR terms, the business is the data controller, while Complete-Reviews is the data processor whose services support the issuing of such invitations in accordance with the instructions of the business. To send email invitations on behalf of a business, Complete-Reviews receives the following personal data from the business: your name, email address, and a reference number. This is called the review invitations data.

If you want to access, download or delete the review invitations data used to send you review invitation emails, or have any questions about how the business obtained or uses this data, please contact the business in question directly, as Complete-Reviews does not control this data and will be unable to action such requests.

Data connected to business accounts

Personal data held in relation to your Complete-Reviews Business account is not connected to your reviewer identity on Complete-Reviews. If you want to request access, correction or deletion of all the personal data related to your business account, please email our Privacy Team at privacy@complete-reviews.com.

You can delete your Complete-Reviews Business account by following the steps outlined in this article. However, this might not completely remove all your personal data from our systems.
